Disruptive Technology in Banking and Finance
"This great new book offers valuable and timely insights on FinTech from various vantage points. Written by a cohort of distinguished academics and practitioners, the reader is treated to constructive analysis and presentation of developments in the field of FinTech and its potential impact on financial services, and banks in particular, as well as the economy and society at large.

Apart from the incredible opportunities afforded by FinTech, this book examines the potential for both old and new risks to ...
The value of cultural clashes in M&A
Il presente lavoro esamina il ruolo della cultura aziendale nelle fusioni e acquisizioni, sia in termini di probabilità di essere coinvolti in un’operazione, sia in termini di esito della stessa. Lo studio dimostra che una cultura aziendale orientata verso l’esterno, quindi attenta alla creazione di valore per gli azionisti e al rapporto con i competitor, aumenta significativamente la probabilità di partecipare ad operazioni di M&A, ma ha un impatto negativo sulla loro capacità di generare valore. Tale evidenza viene confermata tramite l’utilizzo di un esperimento naturale che considera uno shock esogeno alla cultura aziendale, proveniente dall’approvazione di diverse leggi sul congedo parentale negli Stati Uniti. I nostri risultati suggeriscono che le aziende orientate all'esterno sottovalutano la possibilità di scontri culturali dopo una fusione e hanno maggiori probabilità di concludere accordi che distruggono valore.

Financial Systems in Troubled Waters
This collection considers the financial crisis from a managerial perspective, focussing on the business implications for the financial industry. Topics examined include governance, information needs and strategy of financial intermediaries and investors. The contributions build on the existing literature and present some unique insights on governance, credit quality evaluation and performance measurement. In a fast growing or steady market, it is possible for even an inefficient financial system to satisfy investors’ and firms’ needs. However, the current financial crisis has brought into sharp relief the limits of the inefficient practices adopted by the market, and made clear the impor...
Disruptive Technology in Banking and Finance
This book exemplifies the potential of FinTech to deliver important economic and societal gains, such as enhancing competition and financial inclusion to deliver tailored financial products and services at more affordable prices and at greater convenience. The emergence of FinTech directly challenges the business models of incumbent financial intermediaries like banks, which are adapting by developing their own FinTech offerings and partnering with FinTech and large technology firms. FinTech also constitutes both known and unknown risks to financial stability and challenges regulators to evaluate whether existing regulations are sufficient. The emergence of FinTech as a global phenomenon requires insightful cross-country analysis and different perspectives to evaluate its development and associated opportunities and challenges. This book will be of interest to practitioners, regulators and students of this essential enabling technology that is a major component of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Bank Profitability in Europe: Not Here to Stay
Slower passthrough of policy interest rate hikes to deposit rates relative to their loan rates has led to sharply wider bank net interest margins. Combined with resilient asset quality, wider net interest margins supported record profits for European banks in 2023. Drawing on historical data from the balance sheets and income statements of over 2,500 European banks, this paper shows that abnormally high profits are expected to fade soon as interest income will decline, once policy rates start being lowered, while higher impairment costs historically have weighed on profits with a lag. Moreover, a number of structural factors that have eroded the performance of European banks in the past two decades have largely remained unaddressed and will continue being a drag on profits and capital. Therefore, policymakers should encourage banks to preserve capital buffers and build resilience to future shocks, while exercising caution when considering taxes on profits or other measures that could divert potential sources of capital from banks.
Efficiency and Productivity Growth
An authoritative introduction to efficiency and productivity analysis with applications in both the banking and finance industry In light of the recent global financial crisis, several studies have examined the efficiency of financial institutions. A number of open questions remain and this book reviews recent issues and state-of-the-art techniques in the assessment of the efficiency and productivity of financial institutions. Written by an international team of experts, the first part of the book links efficiency with a variety of topics like Latin American banking, market discipline and governance, economics of scale, off-balance-sheet activities, productivity of foreign banks, mergers and...
The New Bail-In Legislation
Financial stability is a pillar of well-functioning financial markets. After the last financial crisis, European policymakers harmonised banking regulation and revised the framework of banking resolution. The introduction of the bail-in legislation is a natural experiment to improve the understanding of banking resolution and how it affected the funding strategies of banks. This book assesses whether financial stability has been strengthened by the change in banks’ resolution policy with a focus on the bail-in. The book shows how banks changed their funding strategies, shrank their balance-sheets and relied more on deposits. The book will discuss inter-alia the mis-selling of bonds, which ...
The Financial Impact of Political Connections
This book focuses on political connections in the United States. It contributes to the literature on the link between politics and business, and on the impact of political connections on firm value, by considering industry-level regulation as a discriminating factor in the investigation of firm value creation. Overall, the findings are consistent with the view that industry-level regulation matters.
L'Italia ai tempi del Covid-19 Tomo II
I volumi nascono dalla esigenza comune da parte della comunità scientifica operante nel dipartimento di Economia Aziendale dell’Università degli studi di Roma Tre di dare il suo contributo alla ripartenza conseguente la pandemia da Covid-19, peraltro ancora in corso. L’iniziativa nasce da uno scambio di idee, esercitato nel corso del lockdown da parte di alcuni colleghi, cui ha fatto seguito un’azione coordinata da alcuni ma condivisa e sposata da tutti gli autori. Il Dipartimento ha aderito in toto, con ciò dando un concreto segnale di quanto tutti i Professori del Dipartimento di Economia Aziendale, ciascuno con le sue competenze specifiche abbiano saputo dare il loro contributo all’iniziativa. I volumi rappresentano un concreto esempio dell’attività multidisciplinare perpretata, nel continuo, all’interno del nostro Dipartimento attraverso la fattiva attività di ciascuno dei suoi membri ed il coordinamento del Direttore. Ogni contributo è stato inserito nell’ambito di una tematica più generale creata per dare spazio alle inclinazioni scientifiche di ciascun docente.
